Jazz Performance and Education Centre presents

In the opening concert of JPEC's inaugural concert series, pianist and Canadian jazz legend Oliver Jones takes the stage with his acclaimed trio. Oliver Jones is a Justin Time recording artist, a Juno Award winner, and recipient of the Governor General's Performing Arts Award for Lifetime Achievement. Oliver Jones' inspiration is not confined to the artistic community. He's also the proud recipient of the Martin Luther King Jr. award, celebrating his contributions to the Black Community in Canada and in his native Montreal. In 1993 he received the Order of Québec, the province's highest honour, and the next year he was awarded the Order of Canada, for "outstanding achievement in the arts." That same year, at the invitation of the Government of Canada, Jones toured several cities in China with bassist Dave Young and drummer Barry Elmes.
